Mother Holle Fairytale Card

£3.50

This fairytale illustration greeting card makes a perfect and unusual Christmas card, with all of the magic and none of the well worn imagery. It’s also very sweet for those winter birthdays, weddings and christenings and will be treasured as a piece of art long after it has served it’s purpose.

Print of an original watercolour and gouache painting that tells the tale of “Mother Holle”. A German fairytale originally recorded by the Grimm Brothers, it tells of a young girl who jumps into a well to retrieve her spindle and arrives into another world. Here she meets Mother Holle and stays to help around her cottage. One of her tasks include shaking out the quilt which, it is said, makes stray feathers fall to earth as snow.
